Meditating for Longevity: Why and How?

Incorporating Meditation Into Your Life

Let's say you're sold on the idea of meditation as a life-lengthening practice. How should you start meditating at home? While there are a number of techniques you can choose from, the ones clinically proven from the above studies tended to focus on three things:

  • Mindfulness, or creating a calm and stable state of mind by letting go
  • Purpose, or re-affirming life goals and finding meaning in one's existence
  • Perceived control, or understanding and accepting one’s surroundings and events

If you're serious about dedicating yourself to meditation and increasing your longevity, let these three tips be your starting point. Mastering this skill is easier said than done but with some effort and guidance you'll start generating that telomerase in no time!

You make measuring telomeres sound like a simply thing. It isn't.
You proclaim an 18 year study on meditation. What did the control group do?
Lie down in bed and pass out like the rest of us?
Why do you feel the need to scientifically prove meditation?
Meditation is the art of letting go of such linear logic.
Truth is a more powerful concept than proof Rob.

Really enjoyed your informative article, Rob. I've made it a practice for many years to meditate before going to sleep to quiet my mind and relax my body. So soothing, so helpful for a good nights rest. Many thanks!
